100 Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

Best ending of a book that I've ever read.

Agreed. It's really, truly wonderful. Have you read Midnight's Children by Salman Rushdie? It also uses a magical realist style and is similarly just absolutely brilliant.

I could not put it down. What an incredible book -- I recommend it to anyone.

I've never read that, but I know we have it in the house. I believe my wife's read it. Thanks for the recommendation.

After finding this post in the vault of the newsletter, I signed to my public library and got this book, looking forward to it :)
